NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar on Monday virtually snubbed Sanjay Raut, advising him against bringing "local level politics" in India's global outreach efforts, a day after the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader called for boycotting the Centre's move to send delegations to various countries, reported news agency PTI.

Pawar recalled that he was a member of a delegation sent by former prime minister P V Narasimha Rao to the UN under the leadership of BJP leader Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
